Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## EstateSales.net Scraper Scrape **EstateSales.net** — the largest directory of estate sales, moving sales, and auctions across the US. Search by state, city, or ZIP code, filter by the site's real sale-type taxonomy (estate sales, auctions, moving sales, online-only auctions, and more), filter by date range, or pull the site's nationally-featured sales. No login, no API key. ### What this actor does - **Two modes:** `search` (state / city / ZIP) and `nationallyFeatured` (curated cross-country list, no location required) - **16 real sale types** — the site's own taxonomy, from "Estate Sales" to "Online-Only Auctions" - **Date-range filtering** — only return sales active within a given window - **All 50 US states + DC** - **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains what EstateSales.net actually published for that sale ### Output per sale listing - `saleId` — EstateSales.net's internal sale ID - `title` — sale title - `description` — full sale description - `saleTypeName` — real sale-type category (Estate Sales, Moving Sales, Auctions, etc.) - `startDate`, `endDate` — sale date range (`YYYY-MM-DD`) - `startDateTime`, `endDateTime` — full local start/end timestamps - `lengthInDays` — how many days the sale runs - `sessions[]` — per-day date/start-time/end-time breakdown, for multi-day sales - `statusMessage` — human-readable status (e.g. "starts today!") - `terms` — the seller's stated payment/sale terms - `auctionUrl` — link to the external auction platform, for auction-hosted sales - `videoUrl` — walkthrough video link, when the seller provided one - `isMarketplaceSale` — true for EstateSales.net's own online marketplace/bidding sales - `city`, `state`, `zipCode` — sale location - `address` — street address, only once the seller has made it public - `latitude`, `longitude` — coordinates, when published - `sellerName`, `sellerPhone`, `sellerIsCompany` — seller/company contact info, when shown - `photoCount` — number of photos in the sale's gallery - `thumbnailUrl` — preview image - `isFeatured` — true if locally, regionally, or nationally featured - `sourceUrl` — canonical EstateSales.net listing URL - `recordType: "estateSale"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `nationallyFeatured` | | `state` | string | `CA` | 2-letter US state code (mode=search) | | `city` | string | `Los Angeles` | City name within the state; leave blank to browse the whole state | | `zipCode` | string | – | 5-digit ZIP; sorts results by distance (requires `city`) | | `saleType` | string | `all` | One of the 16 real EstateSales.net sale-type categories | | `dateFrom` | string | – | Only include sales active on/after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`) | | `dateTo` | string | – | Only include sales active on/before this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`) | | `maxItems` | int | `20` | Hard cap on emitted listings (1–200) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | AUTO | Apify proxy configuration (optional; the site has no anti-bot protection) | #### Example: browse a city ```json { "mode": "search", "state": "CA", "city": "Los Angeles", "maxItems": 20 } ```` #### Example: estate sales near a ZIP code this weekend ```json { "mode": "search", "state": "CA", "city": "Beverly Hills", "zipCode": "90210", "saleType": "estateSales", "dateFrom": "2026-07-04", "dateTo": "2026-07-05", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: browse an entire state ```json { "mode": "search", "state": "TX", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example: nationally-featured sales ```json { "mode": "nationallyFeatured", "maxItems": 25 } ``` ### Use cases - **Estate-sale hunting** — find upcoming sales near you by city or ZIP - **Auction discovery** — filter specifically for auctions or online-only auctions - **Reseller sourcing** — track moving sales, buyouts, and liquidations for resale inventory - **Market research** — monitor estate-sale company activity by state or metro area - **Weekend planning** — filter by date range to find sales happening this weekend ### FAQ **What is the data source?** EstateSales.net, a public directory of estate sales, moving sales, and auctions across the US. **Do I need an account?** No. All listing data returned by this actor is publicly visible without logging in. EstateSales.net offers optional free registration for email alerts, which this actor does not use or require. **Why do some listings have no address?** Sellers can choose to reveal the exact address only after a set time (often the morning of the sale). Until then, `address` is omitted and only city/state/ZIP are available. **What does searching by state only (no city) return?** It browses across the state's metro areas, collecting sales from each until `maxItems` is reached — useful for a broad statewide sweep. **How current is the data?** Listings reflect what's live on EstateSales.net at the time the actor runs. **Is this affiliated with EstateSales.net?** No, this is an independent third-party actor that reads EstateSales.net's public pages. **Can I combine sale type and date filters?** Yes — `saleType`, `dateFrom`, and `dateTo` all combine with `state`/`city`/`zipCode` in `search` mode. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `state` (type: `string`): Two-letter US state code to search within. ## `city` (type: `string`): City name within the state. Leave blank to browse the whole state's metro areas. ## `zipCode` (type: `string`): 5-digit US ZIP code — sorts city results by distance from this ZIP. Requires `city` to also be set. ## `saleType` (type: `string`): Filter to one of EstateSales.net's real sale-type categories. ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Only include sales active on or after this date. ## `dateTo` (type: `string`): Only include sales active on or before this date. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on emitted sale listings. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional Apify proxy configuration (the free AUTO datacenter group works fine; the site has no anti-bot protection). ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "state": "CA", "city": "Los Angeles", "saleType": "all", "maxItems": 20, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `sales` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped EstateSales.net listings. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
